Yet they can sponsor an F1 team.

Good, someone has to think of the poor race car drivers, and their million dollar team.

A million dollars is probably just the catering budget, tbh. I don't even know what this company does, I just saw that no one else had pointed this out. It sounds like I'm lucky to not use their software.

Every company is just firing employees left and right and I'm not sure what they all expect to happen. I guess just through the magic of AI they can have less workers do more for the same pay. But damn, so many people let go all over the place.

Are you serious? That's insane. I had no idea!

In February 2025, Williams Racing announced a record multi-year title sponsorship with Atlassian and will compete as Atlassian Williams Racing from the 2025 season of Formula One onwards. - https://en.wikipedia.org/...

I hope they can drive faster than their software loads content.
